Away down near the end of the leg
acicS in Mr.. Tildrn's will is one OF the
interest on 100000 to Miss Celeste
>taufftr. of New Orleans. There are Il
good many society people in Baltimore
who know Miss Stauticr. but few who
know or can understand why Mr.. Til
den should remember her in his will.
The story is romantic one, and tells
of the love Of the aged statesman for L
Young, hands0mc and brilliant woman
An intimate friend of the Stauficr fam
ily who is now in New York expresses
himself rs confident that Mr. Tilden
at one time seriously contemplated
matrimony. and Was ~ultor for Miss
Ntautir> hand. 1t was soon after the
explosion of the story that the sage of
GrayStone was engaged to be marrird
to Miss Nellie Hazcltine of st. Louis
that he met that charming yonng lady
from New Orleans. Miss Hazeltine
was blonde. with rich red-golden
hair. Miss Stauflcr is between bru-
nette and blonde, of that type styled
in New Orleans chatai@nc. Miss HaZ-
cltinc. who reigncd aS the belle of st,
Louis until she married Young Mr..
Parramore. is now dead. Miss Stautler
Is with her family in Europe.
In 1880 or 1881 Mr.. Tilden met Miss
Mary Celeste Stauticr, and Immediately
fell in love with her Mr.. Staufier,
her father, is the senior partner OF the
firm of Stautlcr. Macreadv 4 Co.. the

RoadmaSter VI. =. Wyman arrived
from Glendive Tuesday morning with
the work train after an absence OF
nearly one week. His experience ON
this trip during the last storm hardly
has a parallel during the past twenty
years of service on the road. When
they started out first their order Tor
meat and flour amounted to over
5000 pounds This was none too
much. The hardest work and most
snow was found east OF Us, very iittle
being found to the west. One can
hardly get correct idea OF the depth
and quantity of snow along the line
where it is necessary ut all times to
propel the snow piow with -four large
Mog,ll engines. And these are never
allowed to work with less than l20
pounds oi steam. while the maximum
is 100 pounds, and the power most
used. And then they frequently lind
drifts OF such magnitude as to stop
them with all this force. At many
points down through Dakota it WAS
necessary to have seven levels to dis
pose OF the beautiful, that is, seven,
men to handle the same block OF snow
The major reported the snow to be
from six to ferty feet deep.-leliow'
